Sonnet is a nurse, the daughter of Argentinian immigrants, living alone after her father's death.
She receives an amazing offer-a great life opportunity that can change her future.
She must be strong, determined and face tough moments but she is ready for the challenge.
What she is not ready is for love-much less if love is in the body of a hunky security guard.
She is prejudiced and despises him but her body has another agenda.
An unexpected event throws her through a loop and changes her mind.
Will the daughter of immigrants become the weak link? Will she disappoint her father's memory and leave her career behind?
Sonnet Coupled has hot scenes and a beautiful message.
We can relate with the strong young woman the author built and admire her determination.
The young nurse is focused and her life is worth reading and enjoying.
The book is well written. The character's mind is easy to understand as she struggles to keep focused and deal with the perks of sudden and disturbing situations.
Life is good, and he has his favorite bar where he talks to his friend-the barman.
Things change when the town becomes the home of an authentic thriller as a serial killer preys tall blond men.
The writer follows the events with detached interestuntil he meets gentle Tess.
A new relationship with an unknown woman is dangerous-everyone knows the criminal is female.
Roger decides against his intuitions-he is not blond after all. He plunges into passion and forgets everything else.
The brutal murders look unpredictable to everybody, but not for him-Roger is a specialist.
The diminishing intervals between the kills is real,and the police have no clue.
Roger's prophetic ability-he can dream the dreams of another individual-complicates his life.
The author rejects the truth in his dreams and lies to himself.
He chooses to pretend his visions are a fabrication of his mind. Destiny decides otherwise.
One night he becomes the spectator of a homicide. He watches it to the end in the confines of his sleep.
The police is out of question. He can't go to into the precinct and tell a detective his dream-it is not accepted in court-but it changes nothing because Roger knows who the killer is.
He finds the murderer's den and has to make a difficult choice.
He can embrace his sweet Tess and ignore what he knows about the Raven, the serial killer intimately associated with his girlfriend. Otherwise he can be sensible and avoid the demise of other men.
Tease is a multi-genre novel-mystery, paranormal and romance-unconditional love, tough life decisions and emotional tension come together with the tang of slaughter and crime.
Death happens in large amounts, but I believe you guessed that.
My initial idea from the title was so wrong I laughed at myself. There are no mummies, no fear. But if you long for an innovative approach to classical superstitions and theories, Edita Petrick holds all the cards for the game.
Although fast, the narrative checks all the necessary items to create a perfect example of the genre. The book offers a mystery, and supernatural events.
The main character is a former marine, Carter. He struggles to protect people from death and ends paired up with a scholar, Stella Hunter. She is the bright and rational woman to help and provide him with the best ideas.
Stella is the only one to figure out what goes on all over the US as average people start to kill others in uncontrolled rage. As an FBI liaison, Carter has to find a way to explain how the supernatural is the transcendent perpetrator of so horrible killing sprees. The decision comes naturally, and he doesn't tell anyone in the agency the complicated fact. As a consequence, Carter needs to lure his boss to support his quest, even if the other man is unaware of the truth. It grants many other exciting moments.
The Ribbons of Death did not forget everybody's soft spot- a small child is in danger.
Edita A Petrick is an awesome author and she can keep the reader pasted to her lines. Amazing.
Carter, a former marine and a liaison between the FBI and the CIA- a glorified mercenary- is the hero, eight-pack abs and all.
Stella Hunter-the Scholar-a professor of Ancient history.
Gabriel-the Peacetaker-a small boy cursed at birth with the ability to command destruction when he wakes up the monster inside every individual.
The curse lay on the little one and after Stella and Carter save the boy in The Ribbons of Death they go beyond to cure him. The Harmony Scroll is their solution.
The two stories are interwoven, and I don't think The Harmony Scroll is a standalone.
However, the story is whole and there is no cliffhanger in any of them.
In The Harmony Scroll, a dreadful fire destroys Stella's house, and that's how the plot begins. An appealing effect, I must add. The Harmony Scroll travels Europe- England, Italy, and France. Edita A. Petrick goes through the history info, essential for the plot, with dialogues.
She plays games with the boredom they could cause, using Carter's emotional paralysis during the chats to make fun of Stella.
The artifice makes it even better to connect with the hunky mercenary, a rough man full of sensibility-the protector of a woman and child.
The conspiracy factor is again present and the most unusual is the female enemy with a bow and arrows. I loved her evil.
Stella Hunter mysteries follows the line of The Name of the Rose, and the D
a Vinci Code.
Ray Jay Perrault has been my best discovery this year. His book is amazing. The story starts in a good pace and goes on without losing it.
It's a real sci-fi where you have the ordinary items, I mean, amazing technology, dangers from the unknown, human characters struggling to survive when the virus strikes the world and kills almost everyone.
It has space crew living on the moon, on Mars and it is all the time challenging you to follow the characters, their fears, their discoveries and their tentative steps to grant a future to the human kind.
It is a book that I can place beside classics like Coma by Robbin Cook. Ray is as good.
The story continues, focusing on the world's government decisions. Everyone is lost and trying to gather the spread bits of human colonies. So many have died that it's a real challenge to keep the structure working and some tough and painful decisions must be made.The characters must face different realities and the world as it used to be is lost.
People who survived are not always the good kind and it adds to the suffering of the survivals.
In the middle of the terrible crises, SIMPOC, the organic computer is a sure defense. But no everybody trusts it.
Many more challenges come to the humans who didn't die and maybe, they will envy those who are gone. The virus attack perpetrator is known and it's the best surprise of the
book.
I'm anxious to see what will come to the survivals
I loved the jokes and although it seems a bit repetitive I laughed every single time.
It's funny and curious how the author deals with his main character's sexuality. The contrast between the man who is not even sure about his own gender and his ability to go into other people's minds to unravel crimes is amazing.
My only remark is about the vocabulary, not so simple and easy as many other books can be. But it doesn't make it really difficult to understand so it doesn't prevent me from giving the book five stars.
The book brings an amazing mystery and the solution for it is creative and well threaded.
EEve Dallas, Peabody, Roaarke. If You love crime stories and has never read a number of In Death series you are seriously lacking fun! The current book is the 42nd of the row and whoever thought it could be repetitive is wrong.Once more a serial killer goes rampant in New York in 2059. Eve is the hot Lieutenant with a heavy personal life story who dedicates herself to stand for the victims.
She has the help of technology and she's a real smart woman.
The characters are very well developed and it's amazing how their behavior is never odd. They react accordingly to their profile and it makes the story funny, dramatic, instigating and exciting, depending on who is involved in the dialogues and situations.
Eve Dallas has to catch and put away the killer of the cousin of one of her best friends. It falls on her lap together with hard memories from her own past.
Drama, sex, love and compassion are bond to give her hard times but she never gives up. The way she gets to catch the murderer is always enticing. She has the recipe where gut feelings added to hard work and sleepless hours bring to the reader the successful jail to the killer and love to Eve and Roarke besides everyone else. I love them and I believe you will too.
Inspector Cullot is amazing. I love the way Alan makes him a sexy guy with lots of baggage. This book follows the path so masterly opened in the Case of the Tattooed Buttocks. There are lots of comings and goings. Lots of crazy events. Lots of sexy innuendos.
It's a real mystery too. It got me by surprise. I hardly ever get surprised reading mystery novels. being a fan of miss Christie and all. The Great Cullot is really amazing. It took me two days to finish, but only because I'm deep in my writing projects for 2016.
It's a book to read without stopping. Laughing a lot too. Alan has a sure pen. I loved it.
Keep your mind in the Clouds! They may bring danger!The book is amazing. It took me a while to get into it,though.
It involves technology and I'm not very fan of the topic.
On the other hand, the writer's background in psychology is paramount to lift the reader into the crime perpetrator's/ perpetrators' mind. (I would never spoil your pleasure)
It's a tricky path that can lead you to the wrong person/persons.
It happened to me. I couldn't decide for my suspect/suspects and when it was said and done I was like huh? Are you kidding Bruce?
It's written in first and third person and it makes the story spin.
The plot seems obvious but you get really surprised at the end.
Everything could be perfect if I enjoyed technology better. It's not the book or the writer to be blamed.
It's me and I would never tell you differently.
Good Read indeed!
Enchanted.
It pretty much defines my feeling, right now.
The book by Genevra Thorne is perfect to its title because it bring us to an enchanted world of faeries and a hot and handsome prince.
The characters have the sweet taste of the fairy tales but it's a book for adults and as such it doesn't let the reader down.
You can find steaming moments withing its pages but the author has a flowing way with words.It is never dirty, never too much. Sensuality is in good measure to help the reader understand how deep love is among the characters.
It is sometimes poetic in the descriptions. I wouldn't say it's a funny book, but some passages are rather funny. There are good moments to chuckle.
There is a palace in the human world and an otherworldly kingdom, of which the main character is the not so much interested prince. There is a damsel in distress, who he obviously saves, and there are many other characters to build up a family where the plot happens.
Enchanted made me recall my favorite books of my childhood but never think it's not worth your time! I couldn'1t stop reading!
Enchanted made me go to bed at 4:30 am! I'm a fast reader otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to read it in a single take. It has around three hundred pages but you never think it should have already finished. Every single page is welcome and makes you sigh for more. And there is more! The Beloved.
I'm jumping into it today. I'll tell you my opinion about it later.
I am still with the book hangover. It kept me out of bed until 4 a.m and I'm a mother. It was tough to wake up this morning, but I really didn't care. It was worth the effort.
It's the second book. The first was enchanting and now I wonder who wouldn't want The Beloved.
The author has a poetic way to deal with words, I said it already.
A powerful faerie born to bring women to the knees with the most amazing sex could fall into my heart like a dove.
He's much more than a sex machine. He's the one to be loved.
The heroine struggles with self-esteem, self-deprecating issues and is in few words pretty much a sample of an ordinary woman who wasn't born a goddess to men.
Their meeting is heart wrenching and their love starts in a surprising way.
Even if you don't get the idea of a faerie tale with so much sex and heavy issues you must believe me, it will surprise you because it's so poetically written you won't mind even a little. It's far from being erotic but it's hot, I can give you that.
The book will grab you by the heart and the characters are powerful enough to hold you until the end.
It's a standalone but part of a series. Considering how good it is, and because the first one is also good, give both a try.
Your heart will be swooning and you'll thank the author for wonderful moments in an otherworldly realm where love permeates everything and answers all the questions.
Just amazing.

The Stonegate Sword is faithful to its title. The story goes around sword battles and good versus evil. The idea of a kind of mystical savior is also there in a very beautiful poem. (The author did that very well) and it made me wait for a kind of revelation that never came.
I'm sorry to say The Stonegate Sword caught me by surprise. It wasn't what I was waiting for and it's not good. Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying the book isn't good, I'm saying that it broke my expectations and it took me a while to fall into it.
It isn't an epic fairy tale and it sounds a little off because the cover and the title calls to that idea. On the other hand, it's a true sword romance because the sword is what you have from the beginning to the end. Descriptions are detailed to exhaustion and because of that, I wouldn't give the book five stars.
The plot seems a little unfinished. Some characters disappear without a trace and I'm still thinking Harry is going to continue the story. Am I right? Let's wait and see.
I read this book because of the group Addicted to YA on Goodreads.
It's a good suggestion but I'm afraid it was a bit of a surprise for me.
The book starts slowly and I was confused in the beginning. Just like some other books of that decade, Stardust has the pace of the traditional fairy tale books. I love the genre so I liked but I do believe the author took a while to decide for a writing technique to express his ideas.
The plot is highly predictable but fairy tales aren't supposed to be Mystery, so it's okay. The characters make you ask "what happens now?" but I get they were just the means to the end of telling the main story.
I would say the movie is better but I don't want to be stoned to death )
I'm glad I read the book. It's the reality of teenagers, what they crave and fear. It's also the opening of a series and it got me a little mad. Silly me, of course. I want the rest of the story! Only in 2017? Come on Charlotte! Sit down and write or I'll hate you forever for making me wait! Just kidding.
Read it and feel Addison's life take you back to your teen, naive and full of dreams age. It's refreshing. If you are a teen yet, I'm sure you will see yourself in her and probably find a friend to share your own view of life.
I just wish it had a faster pace.
Shwedagon is amazing at places' description. It's without doubt very effective at making the reader feel like traveling.
It also brings some good moments of creativity when the thieving happens.
I'd say Noleen should have worked a bit more on that because it really is the best part of the book.
The ending was unexpected and it sounded mystic to me. I liked it but the pace is a bit slow.
